Path of Exile is a MAJESTIC incline

[Reina]

It has been a long time since we had a good league mechanic that was rewarding but not irritating

Sentinel? Looking back, its was a nice league, at least compared to what followed.

Ultimatum and Sentinel was good.

yes, that was also league with archnemesis shit. They had very low play retention in that league

Ultimatum and Sentinel was good.

Ultimatum was just more currency for trade while doing crazy small area fights. It was only viable for some builds. From what I remember it was worse than Ritual that had similar shit.

So i should kill all the bandits, right? Even in ruthless.

BTW, what's with the guy with the corvus mask? Where am i supposed to meet him to hunt animals?

Depends on your build. Saving Alira is good if you are using mana and going critical hit as she gives 3 useful bonuses. But if you are not sure getting 2 additional points is probably more useful overall.

He starts showing up randomly in Act 2 maps and runs with you attacking those special animals until you kill the number he wants.

He is one of the few new league mechanics that show up before the 6th act. Like most such mechanics, his appearance is random. The beasts he hunts van be used for some interesting, occasionally useful, recipes.

Kjaska show us where the bad man touched you

Ultimatum was a lot of fun (although I remember complaining a bit during the league, mainly due to the rare aura spam).

Like most such mechanics, his appearance is random.

The first appearance (act two, first map on the left of town) is guaranteed.

Alira is often worth saving because she gives mana regen and resist, both of which are useful for pretty much every build.

I've had him show up first in other maps, so I hadn't noticed. I usually go right first.

PoE is boycotting reddit along with others so unfortunately Kjaska is forced to spend more time here. First time I am happy about reddit existing and working and sad it is not atm.

 

[abija]

Huh? Didn't PoE devs start to boycott reddit at last loot nerf debacle?

 

[Kjaska]

Last GGG comment on the subreddit was on the 9th of this month according to the GGG-tracker. Communication overall has been almost non-existent this League, but that is due to the Exilecon/PoE2 push and less about plebbit.

Lmao wtf is this hideout shit.

No fucking way i'm going to start dicking around with this retardation they can't be serious.

Also that Einhar dude is nowhere to be found. Just started act 3 and haven't met him anywhere but apparently he was supposed to show up in act 2 what did i miss.

You need a hideout so you can trade with other players easily. And in the endgame it becomes your base because you can put the map device right next to the npcs.
I don't understand people who spend time customizing it, but at some point I just downloaded a fully customized hideout from the internet and pasted it. It's marginally better than the purely functional layout I put together myself.

Maybe it's a ruthless thing? Basically you get an ai helper for a map, and a few extra strong rare mobs. After you kill them they get collected and there's a separate crafting system which uses these rare mobs as ingredients. I basically only use it to craft immunities on flasks, and the occasional roulette wheel spin for a unique (it's always garbage).

It was kind of useful in past for potion crafting but after last bigger change the whole mechanic is completely useless unless you play SSF and need some specific unique for your build.
I do not bother even using free daily beast missions while mapping

Einhar is heavily nerfed in Ruthless.

Well, he did show up eventually in act 3. After doing his little hunting quest i haven't checked out the rest yet.

I really hate stuff like this, things that force you to put your progress on hold to do side crap. The ascendacy thing is another one. I now have to put act 4 on hold to complete the first labyrinth. And what's annoying about this is that it just makes you over level making the campain more trivial than it already is. I'm actually seven levels higher than i should be just because of all the time i wasted trying to dick around with the crucible mechanic (which i'm now ignoring entirely), and i'll probably be even higher once i finish the labyrinth which i'm sure will make act 4 even more of a joke than act 3 was.

You also find less valuable currency if you are way over leveled. However it's pretty easy to fix this problem, just rush waypoints and don't be fixated on clearing areas and the difficulty will catch up to your character. The Labyrinth is especially all about zoom zooming to Izaro ASAP - in fact, the slower you go the more likely you'll die to a stupid trap device. You want to get it done, get your points and get out- it's not an area for treasure hunting.

I didn't know this.

Fug.

 

[abija]

Don't overthink the level thing, unless you rush the campaign you're usually overleveld in it. Same for most of mapping, especially if you don't trade. You'll also get xp penalties so it won't get out of control.
